Books I've read
As I said, whenever I'm not working and not acting, I'm probably reading some book or other.
Some time ago, I saw Florian Heidenreich
on his site had a very nice listing of the books he's been reading. I found that list very
interesting, giving pointers to books I didn't know about, so I thought maybe I'll do the same.
So, here we go:
